'Ilaheva
In the mythology of Tonga, ʻIlaheva Vaʻepopua (ʻIlaheva, living at Vaʻepopua) was a mortal woman, the daughter of Seketoʻa, who was a chief of Tongatapu, or perhaps a god from Niuatoputapu, or the daughter from a Niuē chief, depending on the source. All accounts, however, agree that she became the wife of Tangaloa ʻEitumātupuʻa and mother of ʻAhoʻeitu,[1] the first divine king of the Tuʻi Tonga dynasty in Tonga, around 900 AD.
